JEJ isn't what he used to be. Nozawa had definitely declined as time passes, but no, her goofy Goku does not intrude all the time like you seem to think. However, she has lost quite a bit of range, and she compensates by lengthening her speech to correspond with the tone of the character she's playing. Her decline from my crazy perspective only comes from aging.

[ABED]

I think Greenwood tries to hard.

And I don't think Nozawa does compensate. Her performance has suffered due to age. It is what it is.

I hope Gohan's book img hat educated the population on ki becomes Canon. It makes perfect sense for the character and is really cool.

Who else thinks Chris Ayres would do a good Joker?

That's a perfect casting choice.

I don't see how Greenwood tries too hard. Personally, I'd take him over current Conroy. It's clear that Conroy is tired of playing Batman.

Out of all the Funimation actors, I could see J. Michael Tatum being a good Batman.

Does anyone have a hi res scan of the poster that came with the American release of Budokai 1 on the PS2? The front is a shot of Goku SS powering up while his arms from the Cell games and the back is all the characters and move sets.

You say it's clear, I don't. Conroy sounds effortlessly tough, whereas Greenwood is not only too old to play a Batman of that age, his voice sounds like a guy trying to sound like Batman because he's using a "Listen to me, don't I sound tough!" voice.

What do you think of Roger Craig Smith's Batman in Arkham Origins? Does he try too hard for you?

The DB Evolution game was better than the actual movie

I don't play video games so I can't say.

I'm not sick of Conroy, but Hamill's voice is VERY different, but I do think Ayres would be an interesting choice.

I would say Hamill still has it in him but Conroy sounds so phoned in and bored nowadays. The only reason it works in Justice League Action is because Batman not caring anymore is kind of his shtick and where most of the comedy about him comes from.

I honestly like Troy Baker's Telltale Batman performance better than I do Conroy's current ones. & yeah, as other said, Bruce Greenwood's Batman's awesome. That being said, I also think Steven Blum, Mark Hamill, Charlie Adler (thanks 8000), & (if Ryusei Nakao were to be unavailable) Shuichi Ikeda would make good Freeza, in reverse.

* Chris Ayres as Starscream, another similar American role to Joker/Freeza, would be very good as well. Now we just need Hasbro & DC to have a project low-budget enough to send to Texas, like that recent Halo Legends anime.

Not to mention Yuri Lowenthal was a pretty dang solid Goku, & I could honestly see him beating everyone else if he got to do it long enough. It's pretty close to his character type.

[Doctor.]

This is a little thing that has always irked me. During the Kaioken x20 scene in Kai, at 1:22, Toei inserted a punch sound effect when Freeza dodged the hit.

Conroy has never been THAT good as fans say. It's all from nostalgia. Greenwood and Weller have gave the best Batman voice performances in UtR and TDKR. Conroy is definitely better than that O'mara chap that WB are using for the animated movies though.

Those performances are better than Conroy's current performances, but they're not as good as Conroy's performances in BTAS and JL/JLU.

John Kassir, Daran Norris, Frank Welker (If he made his Joker voice more threatening and less campy), Chris Latta (had he lived) and Dee Bradley Baker could also be great voices for Frieza in my opinion.

I don't agree on these points AT ALL. THe reason I have nostalgia for Conroy is because he was that good. Greenwood is awful. He's a good actor, but not a good Batman. He's one step above Bale's Batman voice. And why do so many dislike O'Mara? He's way better Greenwood who was doing his damnedest to sound gruff and he's also too old for the role.

Now you all are making me really want to hear Ayres as The Joker, even if it's just a short clip on Youtube.

Someone else likes O'Mara?! I'm pretty sure this is one of the signs of the apocalypse, like common sense on the Internet.... Or Japan grasping the concept of pacing.

I like romance in my stories and I'm not afraid to admit it. I would've preferred Goku with Suno. I don't know why, but it makes more sense to me than him ending up with Chichi because of a joke.

Him ending up with Snow makes even less sense, though. She was never relevant enough for it to go anywhere, especially not in Toriyama's manga.

[8000 Saiyan]

O'Mara as Batman is the definition of bland, bland, bland. There are actors who haven't voiced Batman that could have done better than him.

It has nothing to do with story. That's not why I've ever liked any particular couple. It's based on chemistry, not plot reasons. They were cute together, characterwise. Suno's bravery is a plus.

Greenwood isn't one of them. Bland would also not be my first adjective. O'Mara has a distinctive voice.
